Downtown Reimagined Project Update – August 7, 2026

Another productive week of work has passed for the Downtown Reimagined Project!

Current Work

Crews have completed watermain and service installation on Elm Street, west of Mountain Street, aside from testing, final connections, and restoration, which will be completed at a later date. The team has since moved east of Mountain Street, installing watermain and sanitary laterals as they work toward Main Street East. Because this work is close to the Elm Street and Mountain Street intersection, traffic control and police presence remain in place to support safe traffic movement through the area.

Looking Ahead (Week of August 10)

Installation of watermain and sanitary service replacements continues on Elm Street, east of Mountain Street. Crews will also complete a section of watermain in the Balsam Lane parking lot.

Traffic Impacts

Elm Street will see a single-lane closure with alternating two-way traffic. Police presence and flag persons remain at the Elm Street/Mountain Street intersection until there's enough of a buffer to allow vehicles to queue safely on either side of the work zone.

Downtown Grimsby remains open and accessible throughout construction. Residents and visitors are encouraged to explore downtown, including the Grimsby Farmers' Market at the Peach King Centre behind Town Hall (every Thursday until October 8), the Construction StoryWalk (until August 28), and the Construction Passport program (until September 30). Coronation Park keeps the summer going with Comedy Night every Wednesday in August, Music in the Park every Thursday through August 20, and Movies in the Park on August 7, 14, and 28.
